Matthews was simply the dummy OF
Elkns, Widner Ycrkes, the Philadelphia
syndicate operating in Chicago, con-
shutting the other members Of the Trust.
This dividend OF 1853 per cent. was the de-
vice used by these thrifty gentlemen for
transferring the proceeds OF the mort
gage TO their own pockets. The Union
National Bank Of Chicago furnished the
money, buying tho entire amount of the
bonds issued. The mortgage, VIC believe,
is guaranteed by the Trust, which has
capital stock Of S25,OOO,OOO. Several suits
have been instituted to declare the Trust
void, and recover the property, but the
high toned robbers have always succeeded
in buying Off the parties to the suit. The
last instance was that Of tho Hoffman cs-
tate in New York, which held 400 shares
Of the original gas company stock. The
